Abstract:
The regulatory function of set in cognitive activity and the organization of human behavior is discussed. The effect of set is identified by means of the recording of the N150 and P300 components of evoked cortical potentials in response to sounds of varied significance (the oddball paradigm); this offers the possibility of shifting from a phenomenological description of this phenomenon to a study of its neurophysiological basis.
